About the size of the preceding, but the wings narrower and wholly
transparent, with the outer margin and nervures brownish-black. On the
upper wings, rather beyond the middle, there is a black abbreviated
transverse band, placed somewhat obliquely, and preceded by a small
white spot on the costa. On the under side the marginal band is not so
dark as above, and there is frequently a series of small white spots
on the hinder edge of the posterior wings; in the latter also, the
anterior edge is tinged with sulphur yellow. Body black above and grey
beneath, with white points on the head; antennæ black.
The marginal band varies in breadth, and in the secondary wings it is
sometimes longitudinally divided by a narrow line of rust-red.
Occurs in Jamaica, Brazil, Virginia, &c.
